Kumamoto Aso Volcano

I was worried that I might not be able to see the volcano when visiting Kumamoto. On the way there, everything was shrouded in a thick white mist, and I couldn't see anything.
However, once we reached the mountain, the strong wind blew the mist away, revealing the volcano crater 🌋. We were able to walk very close to it and see it clearly 🥹.
We stayed at the volcano for about 15 minutes before heading to Kusasenri Grassland. Later, the tour guide explained that the short visit was due to the harmful gases released by the volcano, which can be detrimental to health if inhaled for too long. Therefore, tourists are generally not advised to stay for extended periods.
After visiting the volcano, we went down to the grassland, and the mist cleared again 🥹.
While having a meal at the restaurant, we enjoyed the view of the grassland through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows ❤️.
After the meal, you must try Aso milk and ice cream 🍦. The milk is made from the famous local yellow cows and has a rich, fragrant taste 👍🏻🥛.
